31 days. my dad gave me some weed which helped me through the day yesterday. i don’t wanna hear that’s not sober, i have to take klonopin every now and then for severe anxiety and weed is legal in ny and if it helps me get through the day so be it. i’m seeing a doctor wednesday i’m gonna ask about suboxone in pill form or more importantly i’d rather go on subutex.

Ok, I won’t say that’s not sober then.

Glad the weed helped. Ya know I kinda find this whole weed conversation intriguing 
... people don't seem to do bad things smoking weed , they just chill out. But people ( me too ) do ALL KINDS OF STUPID stuff when we're bombed. Bad stuff , crashes etc.. In fact , my lawyers advice to me for the longest time was stop drinking and start smoking weed. For real !!... and he's credible , it's what he actually did with his own life now he's got a private practice. Shoot even the guys in the local halfway house got weed cards these days. So that's cool that u felt better.

i’m like relaxed and drawing but yeah that’s equivalent to not being sober and not being sober to me is selling videos of my body for money to get heroin and then crying after spending an HOUR finding a vein. but smoking a legal plant is such an issue. i’ve been so bored. i’m going to an aa meeting today. some aa people aren’t the worst

I smoke weed!!! I wouldn’t be where I’m at without the help of Marijuana. In my opinion I am Clean. I think marijuana is wonderful and can do wonders for struggling addicts and ppl in recovery. I’m right there with you on this one!

I would suggest referring to it as AF (alcohol free). I take thc gummies regularly and love to have an altered state of mind, just not from alcohol.

i don’t drink but yeah
Some weed won’t kill you, do whatever you have to to stay off that dope. Advice given to me was to “quit my vices in the order in which they are killing me.” You can always stop using cannabis later on. Stay strong!

Point I want to make. I’ve been at sobriety since 84. Have had long periods of sobriety and a few relapses in between. I’d think it would be ok to smoke a little weed now and then or have a beer. As long as I wasn’t using my drug of choice I’d be good. Never ever did it work. I’m an addict. Eventually it always led me back to using again. And of course all the ugly that comes along with it. Jails, institutions, and near death. Earth people can use and have no problem. Yet, if you come to a place of refuge like this app, more than likely you are not an earth person capable of just one or switching one substance to replace another. Sobriety is work. No easy paths to it. No quick fixes.

Weed to me is not a gateway drug…. I smoke it to sleep at night …. I don’t enjoy it and it really doesn’t make me crave booze or hard drugs

I couldn’t agree with you more. I quit H by taking Benzos. I quit Benzos by smoking. I quit smoking by drinking.
To be in recovery you have to be free of mind altering drugs. Smoking is just another way to escape and there is no other excuse. Once smoking doesn’t alter your mind like you want it to is when you will go to something else. It might take a while to get bored of just smoking but it will happen.
The only way for addicts to live a healthy life is to be truly sober.
If you were just using CBD that would be a different story since it’s not mind altering. Argue that 
i agree. it helps my terrible insomnia and chronic pain so what? would you rather me take oxy for my severe chronic pain?
